[6] [7] It has also acquired the Microsoft Solutions practice. [8]

Partnerships

In February 2021, Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) announced a partnership renewal with Yorktel and Caregility. Both companies, owned by YTC Holdings, joined CGR for the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs as an associate partner on the No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, driven by Kurt Busch. [9] The renewed partnership included sponsorship of the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, driven by Ross Chastain, along with associate branding on both cars. During the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs, Yorktel and Caregility used the partnership to recognize frontline caregivers through the “Caregility Cares” initiative, where the name of a selected caregiver was displayed on Busch's car.
